GUITAR LESSONS IN SAN DIMAS
(AGES 5 AND UP)
Our guitar instructors are kind and friendly, and want to get to know each student and parent on a personal level. By working with our students to build a lesson plan centered around their goals and musical tastes, San Dimas Music Academy ensures the best experience for our students. Whether you’re playing in local bands, a five year old taking their first lesson, or returning to the guitar after several decades, our teachers will share their passion for the craft and work with you towards your own musical aspirations.
BEGINNER GUITAR
Start your child on a journey that will bring them confidence and an incredible creative outlet. Students start their musical journey with us by learning to play the music they already know and love from the world of jazz, rock, funk, and more. Our instructors strive to make each lesson an encouraging and positive experience by incorporating our students’ favorite songs into their lesson plans. It has always been our philosophy that when learning is fun and engaging, students are more likely to excel and enjoy practicing their instrument. Our students and parents LOVE our Level Up Music Achievement program, which structures the learning process in achievable small steps that can be measured from day one. Our students feel more motivated earning stickers, wristbands and certificates!

FREE BAND WORKSHOPS
Throughout the year we offer a free band workshop to all our students called “Tomorrow’s Rockstars”. This unique program aims to give students the experience of playing in a band with their fellow aspiring musicians, a crucial element of their musical education. This workshop has been a complete success with both students and their families. Our students have a blast playing songs they love and building friendships with their bandmates. Most importantly, we see their confidence and motivation grow immensely through this special program. Many of our beginner students participate after only a few months of lessons.
LEVEL UP MUSIC ACHIEVEMENT PROGRAM
At San Dimas Music Academy, we use a system of certificates, wristbands, and stickers to track student growth from level 1 to 10, similar to the belts in a martial arts program. This structured, nationally-recognized approach, is free and optional for all our students. Giving students a fun, tangible way to mark their success does wonders to motivate them to practice their instrument and push their limits.
UNLIMITED MAKE-UP LESSONS
We understand that your family’s schedule can change on a dime. That’s why we offer unlimited make-up lessons. You’ll be able to cancel and reschedule your lessons through our online student portal without even having to contact us. If you prefer, we are happy to reschedule lessons for you as well.
